A team of investigators from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China report the development of a diagnostic method that combines facial thermal imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) to accurately predict the presence of coronary artery disease. The new method, reported in the open access journal BMJ Health & Care Informatics, has the potential to be adopted for clinical practice to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Current guidelines for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease rely on a probability assessment of a variety of risk factors. While these methods can be supplemented by other tests such as electrocardiogram (EKG) readings, angiograms, and blood tests, they aren’t always accurate and involve invasive procedure.
By comparison, thermal imaging is non-invasive. It works by detecting the infrared...
